NJ CSC Sets 2018 Police Promotional Exam Schedule

May 29, 2018 - Posted by Ed Esposito

Recently, the New Jersey Civil Service Commission (NJ CSC) revised their Examination Information Alert for the 2018 Police Promotional Exam. While the Lieutenant and Captain’s exam schedule remains unchanged, the May announcement contains a departure of the dates historically used for the Sergeant’s exam.

According to the announcement, applications for the 2018 Police Sergeant’s exam will be available on October 1, 2018 and must be filed by October 22, 2018. The “closing date” that is used by the CSC to determine eligibility for the exam will now be January 31, 2019 and the exam is “tentatively” scheduled to be administered in February of 2019.

Lieutenants and Captains candidates can expect applications for the 2018 exam to be available on July 1, 2018 and their applications must be filed by July 23, 2018. The “closing date” that is used by the CSC to determine eligibility for these exams will be September 30, 2018 and the Lieutenant’s exam and written portion of the Captain’s exam is “tentatively” scheduled to be administered in October of 2018. The oral portion of the Captain’s exam is “tentatively” scheduled to be administered in December of 2018.

As a result of these changes, we will be adding additional classes between the initially scheduled end of our 2018 Police Promotional Review Course and the actual administration of the Sergeant’s exam.
